Welcome!

My name is Megan Palos. I am a User Researcher passionate about creating user-centered solutions guided by empathy, research, and understanding.

I am a User Researcher based in southern New Jersey with over 10 years combined experience in the IT, health care, and medical communications industries.

The leap to UX from project management, marketing, and business analysis was a natural one. Throughout my career, I adopted a consultative approach when focusing on the needs and wants of clients and internal stakeholders. I cultivated a deep interest in understanding and solving problems based on their unique needs. I also developed key critical thinking and research skills that are necessary for diving deeper into user needs and creating user-centric solutions.
